I seriously get all pathetic, every year, when people start mentioning the “F” word. See here and here. Like annoyed and it’s everywhere, people really love FALL.

We should just move already. Cause I don’t wanna hear another word about leaves..cider..halloween..pumpkins..boots..or sweaters. More long days and bright flowers and water parks and short sleeves and sandals and SuNSHiNe!

I would move to Florida in a heartbeat. Take me now Sunshine state. Take me now.

Sometimes I get so frustrated about the division here in the US, it was nice to see guys who normally play against each other come together and bring one home. Not to mention my dude was picked to play, hey boo!

…this guy is actually my favorite baller.

He wants to be taller and faster and more muscular, but really he is perfect. Yea, I’m jaded.

They couldn’t keep their hands out of it. I didn’t see the big deal? Until I tried it.

His face says it all.

It’s a solid, you can form a ball with it in your hands, then it just melts (like above). I wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t see it myself, it was pretty cool and I am not a huge science fan.

You have to see this in video for the full effect, it’s a few seconds, short and sweet…

cornstarch quick sand–15 seconds

We tried it in a smaller bowl for the quick sand effect. If you put your finger in the mixture fast, it’s a solid barrier and your finger bounces off. But if you put your finger in slow, you get right through and actually feel a little resistance when you pull your finger out. Weeeeeird and cool, the kids loved it and made a hot mess.

They recommend that you do not put this mix down the drain. We let the messier parts dry up overnight and used a vacuum to clean it up in the morning.
